The Jardín de los Picaflores, or Hummingbird Garden, is a delightful escape into the world of these tiny, iridescent birds. Located in the heart of Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, this privately owned garden has evolved into a sanctuary dedicated to attracting and protecting hummingbirds. For over two decades, the Castillo family has lovingly cultivated this space, creating a haven where visitors can witness the enchanting spectacle of hummingbirds feeding and interacting in their natural environment. Within the garden, strategically placed benches offer optimal viewing points, allowing visitors to observe these avian acrobats from a close distance – sometimes less than a meter away. The garden attracts over 150 individual hummingbirds from around 15 different species, including the glittering-bellied emerald, gilded sapphire and white-throated hummingbird. Other bird species, such as bananaquits, tanagers, and blackbirds, also frequent the garden, adding to the biodiversity. The Jardín de los Picaflores is more than just a visual treat; it's an educational experience. A small shop within the garden offers a selection of books and materials related to local flora and fauna, allowing visitors to deepen their understanding of the region's natural wonders. The garden's commitment to conservation and education makes it a valuable asset to Puerto Iguazú's ecotourism offerings.
